CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims the benefit of European Community Plant Variety Office Application No. 2020/2451, filed on Oct. 6, 2020, Moroccan Plant Variety Application No. 1037/20, filed Dec. 28, 2020, and Mexican Plant Variety Application No. 3341, filed Jan. 6, 2021, each of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.

BACKGROUND

Disclosed herein is a new and distinct raspberry variety. The varietal denomination of the new variety is ‘Plapink 14103’. The new variety was designated by the breeder as breeder number ‘14.17R.05’. The new variety of raspberry was created in a breeding program by crossing two parents. The seed parent was an undistributed raspberry variety designated ‘06.13R.46’ (unpatented) and the pollen parent was an undistributed raspberry variety designated ‘08.10R.12’ (unpatented). Each parent was a selection from a breeder's program and has not been commercialized.

The resulting seedling of the new variety was grown and asexually propagated by Michael Brinkmann by root cuttings in Segovia, Spain, 3°59'W., 41°22'N., at 2742 feet elevation. Clones of the new variety were further asexually propagated and extensively tested. This propagation and testing has demonstrated that the combination of traits disclosed herein which characterize the new variety are fixed and retained true to type through successive generations of asexual reproduction.

The new variety ‘Plapink 14103’ is characterized by a vigorous plant with consistent fruit production from the end of September through the end of December on primocanes and in the ensuing year beginning in April and again beginning in June. In addition, the new variety has an arching plant habit and very abundant production of light-red colored (RHS red group color near 41 B to 41 A), broad, conical-shaped, medium-sized fruit having strong glossiness.

COMPARISON TO THE PARENT VARIETIES

The new variety is distinguishable from the parental varieties by the following characteristics possessed by ‘Plapink 14103’ which are different than, or not possessed, by the seed parent designated ‘06.13R.46’ (unpatented) and/or the pollen parent designated ‘08.10R.12’ (unpatented).

The stipules in the leaf of the seed parent ‘06.13R.46’ (unpatented) are longer than in the leaf of the new variety ‘Plapink 14103’.

Overlapping of lateral leaflets with the terminal leaflet is absent in the leaf of the seed parent ‘06.13R.46’ (unpatented), whereas in the leaf of the new variety ‘Plapink 14103’ overlapping is present.

The leaf of the seed parent ‘06.13R.46’ (unpatented) has a dark green color (RHS green group color near 131 C to 131 B) on the upper side, whereas the leaf of the new variety ‘Plapink 14103’ has a medium green (RHS green group color near 137 C to 137 B) color on the upper side.

The pollen parent ‘08.10R.12’ (unpatented) shows an upright habit, whereas the new variety ‘Plapink 14103’ shows an arching habit.

The fruit of the pollen parent ‘08.10R.12’ (unpatented) is bigger than fruit of the new variety ‘Plapink 14103’.

The shape of the fruit of the pollen parent ‘08.10R.12’ is conical and has a plug that is longer than it is broad, whereas the new variety ‘Plapink 14103’ has fruit with a broad conical shape and a plug that is moderately longer than it is broad.

COMPARISON TO CLOSEST VARIETY

The new variety ‘Plapink 14103’ is believed to be closest to the variety ‘Adelita’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 25,245), but is distinguished therefrom by the following characteristics possessed by ‘Plapink 14103’ which are different than, or not possessed by ‘Adelita’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 25,245).

The plant habit of Adelita’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 25,245) is upright, whereas ‘Plapink 14103’ shows an arching plant habit. The difference in the plant habit of ‘Plapink 14103’ (designated ‘14.17R.05’) and ‘Adelita’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 25,245) is shown in FIG. 17 and FIG. 18.

The fruit of ‘Adelita’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 25,245) shows a conical shape and red color (RHS red group near 47 A to 46 A), whereas the fruit of ‘Plapink 14103 shows a broad conical shape and a light red color (RHS red group color near 41 B to 41 A).

The plug size of the fruit of ‘Adelita’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 25,245) is bigger than the plug size of fruit of ‘Plared 14103’. The difference in the plug size of ‘Plapink 14103’ (designated ‘14.17R.05’) and ‘Adelita’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 25,245) is shown in FIG. 16.

The fruit of ‘Adelita’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 25,245) shows medium to strong adherence to the plug, whereas the fruit of ‘Plapink 14103’ shows a weak adherence to the plug.

The time of the beginning of flowering on current season's cane of ‘Adelita’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 25,245) is early to medium, whereas the time of the beginning of flowering on currents season's cane of ‘Plapink 14103’ is medium to late.

The time of beginning of fruit ripening on current year's cane of ‘Adelita’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 25,245) is early, whereas the time of beginning of fruit ripening on current year's cane of ‘Plapink 14103’ is medium.

These differences are maintained during the harvest season.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW VARIETY

The following detailed description of the new variety is based upon observations taken of plants and fruit grown in containers under tunnel at the farm La Mogalla in Cartaya (Huelva), Spain, 7°W., 37°N., 45 feet elevation. Water and fertilizer were applied through drip irrigation. The primocane production observations were made in Huelva (Spain) between Jun. 10, 2019 and Jun. 10, 2020. ‘Plapink 14103’ is a primocane variety, with consistent fruit production from the end of September through the end of December on primocanes and in the ensuing year beginning in April and beginning in June.

The following description is in accordance with UPOV terminology and the color terminology herein is in accordance with The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (R.H.S.C.C.), 3^(rd) edition published in 1995. The color descriptions and other phenotypical descriptions may deviate from the stated values and descriptions depending, for example, upon variation in environmental, seasonal, climatic, and cultural conditions.

PROPAGATION

The new variety is principally propagated by way of root cuttings. Although propagation by root cuttings is presently preferred, other know methods of propagating raspberry plants may be used. Raspberries root and develop well after transplanting.

‘Plapink 14103’ is a primocane variety with fruit production from the end of September through the end of December on primocanes and in the ensuing year beginning in April and beginning in June. It is a self-fertile variety. It produces a large quantity of pollen throughout the seasons and pollination is good.

Trials were pursued in in Cartaya (Huelva), Spain. The plants described are from high elevation nursery in Segovia, Spain, 3°59'W., 41°22'N., 2742 feet elevation. Plants were planted on June 12 in the first year and June 10 in the second year with a sample size of 2 repetitions every year and 120 plants per repetition per year.
